Ayasato, Mayoi

綾里真宵

As the heir to a prominent family of spiritualists, Maya serves as Phoenix's obligatory perky sidekick throughout all three games. Mayoi is optimistic, excitable, friendly, curious, and a fangirl for all things Steel Samurai. Like her sister, she is tenacious to a fault and very attached to her Naruhodou-kun. She is not always the brightest, but she is loyal and outgoing.
Mayoi was originally intended to work in Chihiro's office, training to become a lawyer. However, the producers felt that Naruhodou had too many allies, so they requested that one be cut. This led the writers to devise the Turnabout Sister's case, using spirit channeling to combine two of Naruhodou's allies into one.
Maya's spiritual powers remain somewhat underdeveloped, and she occasionally has trouble calling spirits.
Mayoi has an older sister, Chihro. Her mother has been missing for 15 years, but she has an aunt, Morgan, and a cousin, Harumi. Her mother is Misty Fey.
Mayoi grew up in Kurain, training to be a spiritual medium. After her mother's disappearance when she was two, and later because her sister left the village, she is destined to become the heir of her family. Although her sister left home, they still remain in contact and are very close.
Name Origin:
English: "Fey" was probably chosen as a last name because of its connection to magic/spiritualism (as in, Morgan le Fay). Maya is pretty close to her Japanese name, Mayoi.
Japanese: The creator picked Mayoi from a list of kanji he liked. Together they mean, "True Evening," a "mysterious name that fits perfectly with the opening setting of Reversal Sisters."
